Unregistered Agreement - An unregistered agreement to sell generally cannot create enforceable rights or charges in immovable property, and its primary function is evidentiary or collateral, not constitutive of ownership rights. Such agreements are admissible as evidence of collateral purpose under Section 49 of the Registration Act, 1908, but do not by themselves confer enforceable rights for injunctions or specific performance unless supported by possession or other factors Ashok Goenka VS Chandra Bhushan Singh - Current Civil Cases, VINOD KUMAR VS SUDHA LAND VENTURES AND HOMES PVT.

-
Temporary Injunction - Courts require a prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable injury for granting temporary injunctions. An unregistered agreement alone is insufficient to justify an injunction unless accompanied by possession or other substantive rights. Courts have held that injunctions based solely on unregistered documents are unsustainable, especially when the agreement does not establish a clear right or possession KANHAIYALAL vs MANOHARLAL AND OTHERS - Madhya Pradesh, Ashok Goenka VS Chandra Bhushan Singh,Sukhnandan Rai - Patna, Padam Itroriya vs Rahul Jain - Madhya Pradesh.
-
Legal Principles - The doctrine of part performance cannot be invoked solely on the basis of an unregistered agreement; possession or other acts of part performance are necessary. The registration requirement is mandatory for creating enforceable rights in immovable property, and courts have consistently set aside injunctions or orders based on unregistered documents Ashok Goenka VS Chandra Bhushan Singh - Current Civil Cases, VINOD KUMAR VS SUDHA LAND VENTURES AND HOMES PVT.

-
Genuineness and Evidence - The absence of signatures or signatures of witnesses on unregistered agreements can raise doubts about their genuineness, but such agreements are not automatically discarded and can be used as evidence of collateral purpose or intent. The courts emphasize that unregistered agreements do not create rights but may support claims of collateral or evidentiary value Ghnshyambhai Dhirubhai Barvaliya VS Rasikbhai Dhirubhai Ambaliya - Current Civil Cases.

Court Decisions - Courts have emphasized that unregistered agreements cannot be the sole basis for granting temporary injunctions or specific performance unless accompanied by possession or other substantive rights. The failure to establish a prima facie case or possession leads to setting aside injunctions based on unregistered documents KANHAIYALAL vs MANOHARLAL AND OTHERS - Madhya Pradesh, Bharat Dura-ganna Ramgirwar VS Laxmibai, wd/o.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Unregistered agreements for sale do not create enforceable rights to restrain or claim property through temporary injunctions or specific performance unless supported by possession or other substantive acts. Courts consistently hold that registration is mandatory for establishing enforceable rights in immovable property, and reliance solely on unregistered documents is insufficient. Injunctions based solely on unregistered agreements are generally set aside, emphasizing the importance of proper registration and possession to substantiate claims Ashok Goenka VS Chandra Bhushan Singh - Current Civil Cases, VINOD KUMAR VS SUDHA LAND VENTURES AND HOMES PVT.
